Global PE IPO activity trends PE-backed IPOs saw a record year in 2014, but muted activity to date in 2015.

Quarterly PE-backed IPO activity (2012-1Q’15*)

Annual global PE-backed IPOs by region (capital raised)

Key insights PE firms continue to take advantage of a strong environment for exits.

After several years of concerns centering around PE’s ability to exit from

the buildup of companies acquired during the 2006-2007 time period, PE

activity is now reaching a state of equilibrium.

PE firms are particularly active in the IPO markets. 2014 was a new record

year, breaking the record set in 2013. In 2014, PE-backed deals

dramatically surpassed expectations of 2013. In 2014, raising a

remarkable US$109.9b across 211 separate offerings.

Indeed, exits of all sorts were the lead story for PE investors. Through

trade sales, secondaries and IPOs, PE firms sold stakes in more than

1,200 companies valued at US$470.6b, a new global record, and an

increase of 70% versus 2013.

Strategic sales Secondary sales IPOs

Global PE exit trends IPOs remain strong; strategic acquirers step up as bidders for PE assets.

1EMEA refers to Europe, Middle East and African exchanges. India is included within Asia-Pacific.

“Strategic sales” are sales to corporations (i.e., M&A) while “secondary sales” are sales to other PE firms.

*1Q15* shows IPOs that have been priced by 17 March

Key insights PE investors are likely to continue focusing on exits in 2015. While firms have made great strides over the last 12 to 18 months in reducing the size of

their PE portfolios and achieving liquidity on many long-held positions, a significant amount of work remains to be done. In 2014, PE exits outpaced new

acquisitions by a ratio of roughly 1.7:1.

According to PitchBook, PE firms hold majority stakes in more than 13,000 companies globally, 45% of which have been held in excess of five years.

Despite recent volatility in the global equities markets, IPOs remain poised to be a primary exit route for many of these companies.

Strategic acquirers have become far more active in recent months; this is evident in higher valuations for M&A transactions and the number of sales to

trade buyers for PE assets.

Indeed, on the buyside, valuations are among the greatest concern for PE buyers in the present market.

Key insights ► European strength continues as sponsors work out of pre-recession era deals. PE firms took 70 companies public during 2014, which was a new record,

and strength has continued into the new year, with an additional 16 PE-backed companies listing on regional exchanges.

► Asia-Pacific continues to gain strength from stronger equities markets in the second half of 2014, as well as the reopening of the IPO window in Mainland

China. With the window effectively closed throughout 2013, firms had to decide whether to wait out the shutdown or pursue alternative exits such as trade

sales and secondary buyouts. China was the source of the largest PE-backed deal in history, when the long-anticipated Alibaba IPO went effective at

US$25.0b. Indeed, it wasn’t just the largest PE-backed IPO of all time; it was the largest IPO ever, surpassing the US$22.1b offering by the Agricultural

Bank of China in 2010. The company, which was backed by a range of sponsors including Silver Lake, General Atlantic, China Investment Corporation,

CITIC Capital Management, The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and others, highlights some key trends in the PE asset class: 1) the increasingly

important role that growth capital is playing; and 2) it underscores the importance and the potential of emerging markets such as China to the asset class.

► The Americas region saw a marked uptick in value in 2014, although the number of deals fell to 88 from 103. Activity in the first three months of 2015 has

been muted. Some observers cite lower oil prices as a potential source of the slowdown.
